The people don't need a saviour, they need a role-model, and Lord British has asked you to become one for them. He decided they actually had a point and set out to make a game revolving entirely around being a good hero. However, after that trio of hugely-popular RPGs, Richard started getting letters complaining about there really wasn't any punishment for the players running around killing everyone in town and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down. Ultima 1-3 were your typical fantasy RPGs with space shuttles, time travel, and demonic supercomputers (no, really). It and Ultima Online are the reasons Richard Garriott could never produce another good game again and still be regarded as one of the most influential game designers ever.īefore we delve into the meat of Ultima 4's virtues, I'll start with a little history. It's the granddaddy of every morality system in games today.
That makes him rather young to me, as the first game that popped into my mind was 1985's Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar. TheFlamingo352's blog post last week about morality system in RPGs cited 2003's Knights of the Old Republic as his first example, joking it showed his age.
